Even if the summer transfer window isn’t until later, Manchester United supporters could be anticipating the true beginning of a new chapter in their team’s history.
Yes, Erik ten Hag and his team must continue to concentrate on their efforts to qualify for the Champions League.
United is still in the running for a berth in the tournament the next season if they have a successful finish to the current campaign.
This summer looks to be a huge one with Ineos leaving their mark on the team, whatever the result.
It’s certain that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and company will influence a shift in strategy in the transfer market, and supporters will be hoping for some intriguing arrivals.
According to what Fabrizio Romano has previously said, United is expected to add a striker, a midfield player, a left defender, and a centre back.
Supporters could still desire a few more additions, and a fascinating rumour has surfaced about that.
Bundesliga star wanted by Manchester United
Given how important Bruno Fernandes is in the midfield, it’s possible that many United supporters weren’t aware of the existence of a playmaker.
However, a new player is in the mix: Dani Olmo of RB Leipzig is reportedly of interest to United, according to the Daily Mail.
According to reports, the Spaniard is also being watched by Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Olmo’s contract has a release clause that kicks in this summer, allowing him to depart RB Leipzig for £52 million.
Olmo has expressed in the past that he wants to play in the Premier League, and United may provide him the opportunity.
Dani Olmo statistics
The 25-year-old got off to a great start to the season in August, defeating Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup with a hat-trick.
With only three goals and four assists in 15 Bundesliga games this season, Olmo hasn’t quite reached the same pinnacles.
Olmo, who has this season played as a number 10, left wing, and right wing, has lost significant time due to two injuries.
Olmo, who is back and prepared to play at his peak, has already scored 28 goals and provided 33 assists for RB Leipzig in 142 appearances.
Guardiola, Pep, adores Olmo
Olmo may be one guy that helps United narrow the gap with Manchester City if they make some significant signings.
In a 2019 speech, City manager Pep Guardiola praised Olmo as a “incredible” player.
In 2021, Guardiola restated the message, praising Olmo as “fantastic” but downplaying any connection to a transfer to City.
Olmo is obviously someone Guardiola admires, but United has a genuine opportunity to move quickly to get him and bring him to Old Trafford, which might frustrate City.
Although there is a lot of competition for Olmo’s services, Ratcliffe and company might make a significant effort for this agreement this summer given its £52 million value.
